SCRIP

Welcome to the start of a new school year everyone! My name is Chara Webb and I am the Scrip Coordinator for Lakes PTO. This fabulous program has great potential to bring in good money for our school. Most fundraising programs sell “stuff.” Supporters buy the “stuff” to “help you out.” (i.e. “How little can I spend?”). With scrip, there’s no need to sell “stuff.” Scrip turns your everyday shopping (money you’re already going to spend) into cash for Lakes PTO when our families use retail gift cards to pay for everyday purchases instead of the usual credit/debit card or other money.

How does it work??

Lakes families can buy retail gift cards through the SCRIP program at face value.

How to set up your account and order gift cards

Step Three: Click on the SHOP tab to search the database of retailers. Click on the retailer of your choice and choose an amount. Select ADD TO CART. When you are done shopping, choose payment by Check or Presto Pay (for PrestoPay to be an option you need to set up a PrestoPay account as well.) Then click SUBMIT ORDER.

Step Four: (is for check payments only): Print off the confirmation of your order. Then place the confirmation along with a check made payable to Lakes PTO in an envelope marked Scrip Order – Attention: Chara Webb. Send this in to your child’s teacher or drop off at the office before the order date is due. Dates for the 2017-2018 School Year are as follows:

Nov. 7th– Dec. 5th – Mar. 13th– May 15th

Scrip fundraising gets even better!
